Temporary Requirements for Notification of Arrival in U.S. Ports

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary rule; change of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is extending the effective period for the 
temporary rule on notification of arrival requirements to March 31, 
2003. Extension of the effective period will ensure sufficient time to 
complete the permanent rulemaking. Continuing the temporary rule in 
effect while the permanent rulemaking is in progress will help to 
ensure the security of our ports and the uninterrupted flow of maritime 
commerce during that period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

    On October 4, 2001, we published a temporary final rule entitled 
``Temporary Requirements for Notification of Arrival in U.S. Ports'' in 
the Federal Register (66 FR 50565). Subsequently, we published two 
corrections in the Federal Register [November 19, 2001 (66 FR 57877)] 
and [January 18, 2002 (67 FR 2571)]. On May 30, 2002, we extended the 
effective period of the temporary rule through September 30, 2002 (67 
FR 37682).

Background and Purpose

    We published a related notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to make 
permanent changes to the notice of arrival requirements [''Notification 
of Arrival in U.S. Ports'' June 19, 2002 (67 FR 41659)]. We expected 
the extension of the temporary rule through September 30, 2002, to 
provide us enough time to complete the permanent changes to the notice 
of arrival requirements. However, on July 23, 2002, we published an 
NPRM proposing to further extend the effective period of the temporary 
rule [67 FR 48073].
    The comment period ended on August 22, 2002, and we received no 
comments. We are, therefore, further extending the effective period of 
the temporary rule until March 31, 2003, to ensure sufficient time to 
complete the changes. Continuing the temporary rule in effect while the 
permanent rulemaking is in progress will help to ensure the security of 
our ports and the uninterrupted flow of maritime commerce during that 
period.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section 
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does 
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 
6(a)(3) of that Order. It has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget under that Order. It is not ``significant'' under 
the regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of 
Transportation (DOT)[February 26, 1979 (44 FR 11040)].
    As discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard has temporarily 
changed the notice of arrival (NOA) regulations and is extending the 
effective period of those requirements until March 31, 2003. When 
assessing the impact of the temporary requirements, we estimated that 
providing the Coast Guard with the additional information about 
passengers, crew, and cargo will impose minimal burden on vessels 
already complying with the notification requirements of 33 CFR part 
160, subpart C. As explained below, the total cost to extend the 
effective period of the temporary rule should not exceed $377,324:
    Cost and Burden. Coast Guard data on Notification of Arrival 
information for 1998 and 1999 was used to estimate the maximum 
populations that will be affected by this rule. Table 1 categorizes the 
affected vessel population into four sub-populations. They are:
     ``Non-AMVER/Non-Great Lakes Vessels''--vessels already 
required to comply with NOA regulations;
     ``AMVER''--vessels complying with the Automated Mutual 
Assistance Vessel Rescue system and that were exempt from NOA 
requirements prior to the temporary rule;
     ``Great Lakes Vessels''--vessels greater than 300 gross 
tons, on Great Lakes routes, that were exempt from NOA requirements 
prior to the temporary rule; and
     ``Vessels on Scheduled Routes''--vessels operating upon a 
route that is described in a schedule that is submitted to the Captain 
of the Port for each port or place of destination listed in the 
schedule. The table also sets out the number of vessels and their total 
number of U.S. port calls (arrivals) for each vessel sub-population.

*These estimates include vessels on scheduled routes that will experience about the same costs as the other
  vessels in this population.


[[Page 55117]]

    Vessels less than 300 gross tons making ports of call in the 
Seventh Coast Guard District have to file NOA reports with the COTP. 
This rule will maintain the requirement, and the estimate of the 
vessels and port calls presented in Table 1 accounted for this special 
group.
    Before the temporary final rule, vessels had to file multiple NOA 
reports if they were visiting multiple U.S. ports on the same voyage. 
Under the temporary rule, vessels making calls to multiple U.S. ports 
do not have to file multiple NOA reports; rather, the temporary rule 
allows a single report listing all destinations in the United States 
along with estimated arrival dates for each port. The Coast Guard did 
not collect or maintain information on the number of vessels that made 
multiple U.S. port calls under separate NOA reports to estimate the 
number of consolidated reports under the temporary rule. The totals 
above, therefore, represent a conservative estimate, a ``worst-case 
scenario,'' of the numbers of vessels and NOA reports that will be 
affected by this rule.
    Finally, vessels that make scheduled trips outside of their COTP 
zones will no longer be exempt from reporting requirements. We do not 
know how many of these vessels and port calls exist, though we know 
they are included in the population of non-AMVER/non-Great Lakes 
vessels. For the purposes of analysis, these vessels and port calls are 
included in the non-AMVER/non-Great Lakes population.

Cost of the Temporary Rule

    Minimal burden will be imposed on vessels whose applicability to 
the NOA reporting requirements was upheld by the temporary rule. The 
cargo, crew, and passenger information these vessels provide to the 
Coast Guard is already collected on a form submitted to the Immigration 
and Naturalization Services (INS) (INS form I-418). We assumed 10 
minutes (0.167 hours) will be spent retrieving and transmitting the 
cargo, crew, and passenger information. We assumed that there will be a 
$2 transmittal fee (fax, email, telephone, etc.) to provide this 
information to the Coast Guard. We assumed that clerical labor will 
complete these tasks at a cost of $31.00 per hour (loaded labor rate, 
2001). Based on 1998 and 1999 data, we estimated 31,644 port calls will 
be made over this extension period (6 months--until March 31, 2003). 
The summary of unit costs and total rulemaking costs for non-AMVER/non-
Great Lakes vessels is presented in Table 2.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detail may not calculate to total due to independent rounding.
* These estimates include vessels on scheduled routes that will experience about the same costs as the other
  vessels in this population.

    Vessels that were exempt from NOA requirements before the original 
effective period of the temporary rule will, as a result of this rule, 
continue to provide the Coast Guard with NOA reports in addition to 
providing the cargo, crew, and passenger information until March 31, 
2003. These vessels (AMVER and vessels that transit only the Great 
Lakes) will incur cost by extending the effective period of the 
temporary rule that requires them to submit an NOA report. Based on the 
OMB-approved Collection of Information for NOA (OMB-2115-0557), we 
estimated that it will take 10 minutes (0.167 hours) to complete the 
report, plus an additional 5 minutes (0.083 hours) for the general 
description of the cargo. We assumed that clerical labor will complete 
the report at a cost of $31.00 per hour. Additionally, these vessels 
will need to develop and submit the cargo, crew, and passenger 
information. Based on information from the INS (OMB-1115-0083), it will 
require 60 minutes (1.000 hour) to complete both lists, for a total of 
75 minutes (1.250 hours) for the entire submission (NOA report, cargo 
description, crew and passenger information). There will be a $2 
transmittal fee to provide the information to the Coast Guard. Based on 
1998 and 1999 data, we estimated that 2,427 port calls will be made 
over the time period of this rulemaking. The summary of unit costs and 
total rulemaking costs for AMVER/Great Lakes vessels is presented in 
Table 3.

    Finally, all vessels affected will continue to communicate with the 
National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC) upon departure from a U.S. port 
when their next port of call is also a U.S. port. Vessels are to phone 
or fax the date of departure to the NVMC along with the name of the 
port just departed. The NVMC will transmit this information to the COTP 
in the next port of call. We assumed that reporting this will require 1 
minute (0.017 hours)

[[Page 55118]]

per departure and that clerical labor ($31.00 per hour) will make the 
call or send the fax. We assumed the transmittal fee will be $1.00 per 
call/fax. There will be an estimated 34,071 departures over the 6-month 
extension period of the temporary rule (until March 31, 2003). The cost 
and burden for notifying NVMC of the date of departure and last port of 
call is presented in Table 4.

Need for the Temporary Rule

    This rule will ensure the timely receipt of advance information 
about vessels, cargo, and people entering U.S. ports and will help 
minimize disruption to commerce. The additional information required by 
this rule will increase security and provide protection for the 
nation's ports and waterways. There will be some savings from the 
consolidated NOA submission for two or more consecutive arrivals at 
U.S. ports.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this rule will have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities'' 
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are 
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, 
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-12), we have offered to assist 
small entities in understanding the rule so that they may better 
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. 
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees 
who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal 
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory 
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory 
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and

Collection of Information

    This rule will extend the effective period of an existing 
collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501-3520). As defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(c), ``collection of 
information'' comprises reporting, recordkeeping, monitoring, posting, 
labeling, and other, similar actions. The title and description of the 
information collection, a description of those who will be required to 
collect the information, and an estimate of the total annual burden 
follow. The estimate covers the time for reviewing instructions, 
searching existing sources of data, gathering and maintaining the data 
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection.
    Title: Advance Notice of Vessel Arrival and Departure.
    OMB Control Number: 2115-0557.
    Summary of the Collection of Information: The Coast Guard requires 
pre-arrival messages from any vessel entering a port or place in the 
United States. This rule will extend the effective period of the 
temporary notice of arrival requirements to March 31, 2003.
    Need for Information: To ensure port safety and security and to 
ensure the uninterrupted flow of commerce, the Coast Guard is extending 
the effective period of the temporary notice of arrival requirements.
    Proposed Use of Information: Extending the NOA information reported 
will enable the control of

[[Page 55119]]

vessel traffic, the development of contingency plans, and the 
enforcement of regulations.
    Description of the Respondents: The respondents are owners, agents, 
masters, operators, or persons in charge of vessels bound for or 
departing from U.S. ports.
    Number of Respondents: The existing OMB-approved collection number 
of respondents is 10,367. Extending the temporary rule will not 
increase the total number of respondents.
    Frequency of Response: The existing OMB-approved collection annual 
number of responses is 136,278. Extending the temporary rule will not 
increase the total number of responses.
    Burden of Response: The existing OMB-approved collection burden of 
response is 15 minutes (0.250 hours). Extending the temporary rule will 
not increase the burden.
    Estimate of Total Annual Burden: The existing OMB-approved 
collection total annual burden is 39,037 hours. Extending the temporary 
rule will not increase the total annual burden.
    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507(d)), we submitted a copy of this rule to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for its review of the collection of information. Due 
to the circumstances surrounding this temporary rule, we asked for 
``emergency processing'' of our request. We received OMB approval for 
the collection of information on September 26, 2001. It is valid until 
September 30, 2002, and we are requesting it be extended until March 
31, 2003.
    We asked for public comment on the collection of information to 
help us determine how useful the information is; whether it can help us 
perform our functions better; whether it is readily available 
elsewhere; how accurate our estimate of the burden of collection is; 
how valid our methods for determining burden are; how we could improve 
the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information; and how we 
could minimize the burden of collection. No comments were received.
    You need not respond to a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid control number from OMB.

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, 
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local 
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial 
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under 
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for 
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary 
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may 
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any 
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, the 
effects of this rule are discussed elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental 
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property 
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, 
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule 
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, 
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more 
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and 
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
    To help the Coast Guard establish regular and meaningful 
consultation and collaboration with Indian and Alaskan Native tribes, 
we published a notice in the Federal Register (66 FR 36361, July 11, 
2001) requesting comments on how to best carry out the Order.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions 
Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant 
energy action'' under that Order because it is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to 
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use 
of energy. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy 
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects 
under Executive Order 13211.

Environment

    We have considered the environmental impact of this rule and 
concluded that under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a), of Commandant 
Instruction M16475.lD, this rule is categorically excluded from further 
environmental documentation. This rule will extend the effective period 
of the changes to the requirements established in the notification of 
arrival regulations. They are procedural in nature and therefore are 
categorically excluded. A ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' is 
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
